Viceroy Riviera Maya

This resort is amazing, my wife and I came for our honeymoon for 7 nights and did not leave the resort a single time, it wasn't necessary. The service was amazing, the staff did an incredible job making sure you had what you needed to be comfortable and relaxed, whether it was getting you a drink while you relax on the beach, bringing you a cold rag to cool off while you sunbathe, providing you with a one of a kind view for a dining experience, or just simply having all of the staff call you by name when you hadn't introduced yourself, they were always there to make your stay better, be friendly, and make you more comfortable. Not only the service, but the privacy as well, the villas are so secluded from one another that it felt like we had the entire resort to ourselves, they do an incredible job not over-crowding the resort. It doesn't end there, the opportunities that we had to learn about the Mexican culture were endless, whether it was a tequila and ceviche class, margarita and guacamole class, or Mexican wine tasting. They had something for everybody, we took advantage of all the extras that the resort had to offer and would highly recommend them to anyone coming for their visit. We had the opportunity for a couples massage in the spa and could not have been more impressed with the set up, from the private steam room and relaxation area prior to the massage, to the beautiful outdoor setting where the massage takes place, you couldn't picture a more relaxing afternoon. One thing that struck me was that every day felt different, even with being at the resort and not leaving for a full 6 days, not one day felt the same. From the classes I mentioned earlier to the different dinner settings each night and special dinners on Wednesday and Friday, Mexican street food night (Wed., incredibly delicious) and grill night (Fri., awesome surf and turf), it felt like a new experience every night. I can't speak highly enough about how amazing our stay was and how highly we would recommend it to those thinking about a trip to Mexico.

We spent our honeymoon at the Viceroy Riviera Maya, and the abridged version of this review... BEST VACATION EVER! I've stayed in hotels/resorts all across Europe, Oceania and the States, and the Viceroy Riviera Maya is hands down the best and most luxurious resort I've ever experienced. Listen, your villa will be in the jungle. That means, monkies, cats, birds and lizards are all around you. Don't consider that as a knock against the Viceroy, rather it's part of the appeal. As far as the food, Chef Alejandro is a magician! Again, best food we've ever had at a resort. Just the food itself would be reason to keep returning, but there are wonders all around the villas, the jungle and the beach that seems secluded from the neighboring resorts. We shall return and I honestly would tell anyone on the fence to book this place NOW. You will not regret it.
